Morning Oatmeal
Rise and grind! It’s morning in the Big Apple and many of you after hitting the snooze button 15 minutes past your wakeup call, have sleep walked your way to the shower, brushed your teeth, combed your hair (blow dried it if you’ve got meetings, or a cute co-worker) and quickly thrown together an outfit (which probably includes at least one particle of clothing you wore out the night before), and ran out the door just in time to catch the subway. This is was I like to call the New Yorker Scramble…minus the eggs.
Most people don’t have time for breakfast - I get it, mornings are hard. But Mom wasn’t kidding when she said it is the most important meal of the day. If you skip breakfast you’ll probably end up bingeing on office cake or chinese for lunch. Breakfast = good for your metabolism = good for your waistline.
Although I’ve tried to up the standards of what meals I decide to blog about, I figured why not indulge you in another one of my breakfast staples - even if everyone already knows how to make oatmeal.
Yes, I know steal cut oatmeal is best for you (higher protein, fiber, etc, etc.) but I don’t have the patience for it - I don’t even have the patience to cook quick oats in a pan. I recommend using McCain’s Instant Irish Oatmeal. I prepare it with a 1/2 cup of skim milk (water in oatmeal is gross) and microwave it for 1 minutes 30 seconds. I then add chopped walnuts (adds protein), a handful of fresh mixed berries, tiiiiiny bit of real maple syrup, and some cinammon. It’s delicious, takes less then 5 min to make, and even less time to eat.
So tomorrow morning, hit the snooze button only once and whip together some Morning Oatmeal for yourself. Your body will thank you.
